Product Overview
The Regatta Professional 4-Tex stretch waterproof shell jacket is a high-performance outer layer engineered for the demanding professional who requires both protection and flexibility. Constructed from advanced Isotex 10000 stretch polyester, this jacket provides a reliable barrier against heavy rain while maintaining a high level of breathability, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable during physical exertion. This lightweight garment is specifically designed to withstand the rigours of daily site work, featuring reinforced ripstop fabric in high-wear areas to prevent tears and abrasions from compromising the jacket's integrity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This technical shell is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your corporate identity. Embroidery is recommended for company logos and staff names, providing a durable and refined professional appearance that withstands frequent washing. For those requiring larger, more prominent branding, our high-quality print processes ensure your design remains vivid and clear on the polyester surface. Every customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility by a team with nearly five decades of expertise, ensuring your brand is represented with the highest level of detail.
Key Features
- Isotex 10000 Stretch Fabric: Offers superior waterproofing and high breathability, allowing moisture vapour to escape during active tasks while keeping external water out.
- EN343:3.3 Certification: This garment meets rigorous European standards for protective clothing, providing peace of mind regarding its performance in foul weather.
- Reach Technology Underarm Gussets: This innovative design allows for a maximum range of movement and unrestricted arm lift, which is essential for tradespeople working at height or in confined spaces.
- Stretch Ripstop Panels: Strategically placed to increase the durability of the jacket, ensuring it can handle the friction and snags typical of a busy work environment.
- Technical Waterproof Zips: Provides an additional layer of security against water ingress, protecting both the wearer and any items stored in the pockets.
- Sustainable Construction: Manufactured using recycled materials, making this an environmentally conscious choice for businesses looking to reduce their ecological footprint.
Design & Performance
The design of the RG633 focuses on ergonomics and climate control. The inclusion of pit zips allows for immediate ventilation, which is vital when transitioning between high-intensity work and periods of relative inactivity. The lightweight nature of the fabric ensures that the jacket does not feel cumbersome, even when worn for extended shifts. By combining stretch polyester with ripstop reinforcements, Regatta has created a shell that moves with the body while offering the toughness required for industrial applications. The technical fit is complemented by functional details like adjustable features and zip pulls that are easy to operate even when wearing gloves.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideal for site managers, surveyors, and outdoor tradespeople who require a professional yet highly functional outer layer. Its technical specifications make it suitable for construction, engineering, and logistics roles where exposure to the elements is frequent but unrestricted movement is non-negotiable. Given its clean, modern aesthetic, it also serves well as a corporate uniform for staff who represent the business in outdoor settings.

Practical Advice
As this is a technical shell jacket, it is designed to be worn as part of a layering system. On colder days, we recommend pairing it with a medium-weight fleece or an insulated gilet to provide thermal protection without sacrificing the jacket's breathable properties. The sizing range is generous, spanning from Small to 4XL, ensuring a consistent professional look across your entire workforce.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance technical properties of this jacket, it is essential to follow the specific care guidelines. We recommend a cool machine wash using Regatta Isotex Cleaner or a pure soap. Conventional detergents can contain chemicals that strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating from the fabric, significantly reducing its effectiveness in the rain.
Bleach must be avoided entirely, as it will weaken the polyester fibres and degrade the recycled material components, leading to a loss of structural integrity. Similarly, the garment should not be tumble dried. High heat can damage the technical membrane and the waterproof zips, potentially causing them to warp or lose their seal.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting only. High temperatures will melt the synthetic fibres and ruin the finish of the jacket. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage; storing a damp garment can lead to the growth of mildew and the breakdown of the technical coatings. Finally, keep the jacket away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV degradation of the fabric and any custom branding.
